Rach Gia Ferry Terminal to Phu Quoc Hotels Guide

Rach Gia ferries arrive at Bai Vong on the eastern side of Phu Quoc, after roughly 2.5 to 3 hours at sea. From the pier you can take a taxi, a ride-hailing app or a pre-booked hotel transfer. Ferry tickets are a guide range of USD 12 to 25 per person by comfort class, checked on 5 November 2026. Book the boat and arrange the pickup before you sail.

Where does the Rach Gia ferry dock?

Boats from Rach Gia arrive at Bai Vong Fast Boat Pier on the eastern part of Phu Quoc, in the southern area. The return sailing also runs via Bai Vong Port, so the pier is the point to know for both directions.

Rach Gia Port sits in the city centre, which makes it easy to reach from anywhere in town. Ferries depart from the port on the main street near the centre, so ask your hotel or the operator for the exact boarding point before you go. Arrive at the port about 60 minutes before the ferry leaves. Look for the operator’s name on your ticket and on the boat, so you know which sailing to meet.

Distance is easy to misread. Sources give the sea crossing as about 120 km, while Rach Gia Port is roughly 155 km from Phu Quoc City Centre. Those figures measure different things, so use the sailing time rather than the distance to plan your day.

How long is the crossing, and what does it cost?

The crossing takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, and tickets are a guide range of USD 12 to 25 per person, depending on comfort class. Those are the figures to plan around, but prices and timetables change, so confirm them before you travel. If you are prone to seasickness, a seat near the middle of the boat is often recommended.

The short transfer row is one operator’s listing, not a market average, so compare it with the hotel’s own quote. The Ha Tien route is quicker, so it is worth comparing the two sailings before you book. Sea conditions in the rainy season can affect ferry schedules, so build some slack into your arrival day.

Which transfer should I take from the terminal?

A pre-arranged hotel transfer gives you the most certainty, while a taxi or ride-hailing app works if you are comfortable arranging it on arrival. The right choice depends on your bags, your group size and how late the boat docks.

Ask these questions before you pay:

• Where exactly is the pickup, and how will the driver find me at the pier?
• How long will the driver wait if the boat is late?
• Does the quote include luggage space for my bags?
• Is a child seat included, if I need one?

Some operators include waiting time, free changes or luggage help, and others do not. Ask whether your quote includes these rather than assuming the island works the same way. We cannot promise a standard package, because each operator sets its own inclusions. Taxis waiting at the pier are not the same as a booked driver, so ask whether a taxi is a metered car or a fixed fare before you accept it. Compare a hotel transfer with a taxi from the pier using the same questions, so you are comparing the same services. Because the ferry ticket and the transfer are separate bookings, check each cancellation rule and keep both confirmations on your phone.

How do I arrange the pickup in advance?

Message us on WhatsApp with your boat time, your hotel and your luggage count, and we arrange the transfer with local partners. Booking early matters because ferries to Phu Quoc can sell out on weekends and holidays.

Follow these steps:

1. Book the ferry early, since weekend and holiday sailings sell out.
2. Send us the boat number and sailing time on WhatsApp.
3. Tell us your hotel, check-in time, your luggage count and whether you need a child seat, so the driver knows when to expect you.
4. Confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay anything.
5. Ask about waiting time, then save the driver’s details before you leave the boat.

Keep the operator’s WhatsApp chat open on the day, so changes to the sailing reach you quickly. Ferry schedules can change with weather, so if a boat is delayed, message us straight away and we will ask the operator about moving the pickup.
